What makes this journey truly special is the overnight stay at our family farm, where you’ll enjoy a private three-bedroom apartment, and the rare chance to spend time with our friendly horses and cuddly sheep. Known in Icelandic as sveitarómantík — “country romance” — it’s an authentic countryside experience that adds warmth and heart to the adventure.

After sund, you’re welcomed into a premium Land Cruiser with a curated basket of Icelandic morning snacks: flatkaka, skyr, a small sweet bite, and fresh thermos coffee.
